Traders from London to Singapore struggle as cyber outage disrupts business

” We are having the family of all international business disruptions”, one investor said.

” People ca n’t switch their computers on after restarts. Those who did n’t restart are doing fine”, another trader said.

According to a spokeswoman for the Deutsche Kreditwirtschaft Financial Industry Association, European businesses are experiencing problems.

South Africa’s Capitec Bank said passport bills, ATM and App providers had been completely restored after experiencing major problems.

Big businesses JPMorgan, HSBC, Goldman Sachs and Barclays did not immediately respond to requests for comments.

Besides the economic market, the outages rippled far and wide, with big U. S. flights ordering floor stops on Friday.

It was unclear whether the flight’s request to prevent landing was related to a previous Microsoft fog failure.

According to the American government, the interruption appeared to be related to a problem at Crowdstrike, a global security company.
